Yes, both ColdBox and Model-Glue added a Flex proxy as a way to wire in "a little Flex" - not to create full-blown Flex apps.
If you already have a well-designed model that is independent of the HTML frameworks then you are most of the way already. Remember that Flex *is* a framework too so you use that for the front end and you ColdSpring-managed model for the backend.
